Some hardcoded values dont show up in a dropdown

Hi guys,

I have an app that I am optimizing for offline use.

In the form control, I have this sort of code on all dropdowns:

```

If(
varConnectionStatus = "Online",
Choices([@cctv].connectivity),
[
"IP",
"BNC",
"N/A",
]
)

```

Thing is, after I allow time for the new app version to download and go into offline mode, some dropdowns show as they should, while some have missing last few values or even show only first value from the array. In one instance, a dropdown had values duplicated from the previous dropdown.

How is this possible, considering values are hardcoded?

HI @dasfdsfgdfgdf ,

What you describe shouldn't be possible. Can you please share one or more examples of the entire Items property and a screenshot of what is visible?

tell me about it. Here is is:

1 image code:
If(
varConnectionStatus = "Online",
Choices([@cctv].'Type of Cherry Picker'),
["STAR10 Internal","STAR10 External","T20 External"]
)

second image:
If(varConnectionStatus="Online",Choices([@cctv].connectivity),["IP","BNC","N/A",])

Hi @dasfdsfgdfgdf ,

Just to rule out: you did verify that varConnectionStatus is indeed not "Online"?

@BCBuizeroff course, i have app showing the variable status on the first screen, to help me debug and to notify a user what mode is the app in.

SOLVED:

aparently, in this bit of code:

If(
varConnectionStatus = "Online",
Choices([@cctv].connectivity),
[
"IP",
"BNC",
"N/A",
]
)

the extra comma after N/A and before ] has been messign with the dropdowns. After removing it and republishing the app, all dropdowns seem to work fine.
